6 Claims.

The present invention relates to an improvement in advertising liquiddispensing devices for bottled liquids and has for its important featurethe provision, on a bottle stopper or cork, of an advertising device,which acts as a. mechanical bond for the other coacting dispensing andother elements of the structure, thereby obtaining economy inmanufacture, the present device being of few simple parts.

A further feature of improvement is in the provision of a dual,identifying structure comprising overlaid symbol bearing elements forreceiving thereon advertisements, which elements are comparativelyeasily destroyed and removed, and which when removed Withoutauthorizatiomexpose a hidden, permanent advertising. notice, which isnot easily destructible, but the removal of which will destroy thedevice, its usefulness being eliminated.

The foregoing and other features of advantage will be apprehended as theherein description proceeds, and it will be obvious that modificationsmay be made in the structure herein, without departing from the spirithereof or the scope of the appended claims.

In the drawing,

Fig. 1 is a. view in elevation of the improved device;

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2, Fig. 1, looking in thedirection of the arrows;

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, looking inthe direction of the arrows;

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 but showing a mode of mounting alabel thereon;

Fig. 5 is a view in elevation of a label holding ring;

Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view of Fig. 5;

Fig. 7 is an enlarged transverse section of the cork cap, taken on theline 1-1, Fig. 8, looking in the direction of the arrows;

Fig. 8 is a plan view of Fig. '7; and

Figs. 9 and 10 are enlarged, transverse fragmental sections of thesealing disc, to disclose modified forms of attaching the labelsthereto.

As in Fig. 1, the complete pouring device comprises a cork stopper 4,capped by a metal cap 5 having an annular flange l6 thereon, whichembraces the top end of the cork 4.

The cork is provided with two through apertures, as is also the cap asat I 4, [5, Fig. 8, and the apertures in the cap and cork are inregistry to receive therein a liquid pouring tube 2, which is bent atthe top to form a turned spout,

theend of which. is covered by a pivoted, gravity actuated closingfiap,similar to that disclosed in my issued U. S. patent numbered 2,039,658of V May 5, 1936. The present application is'also filed in continuationof my application which is developing into Patent Number. 2,04l,724,having" date of issue May 26, 1936. V

Inthe other bore I5 is mounted a ven ng tube 3, which extends beyond thelimits of the cork and capon both sidesthereof and acts to vent a bottleas theliquid is poured from spout 2.

. The cork cap .5 as shown in the enlarged views of Figs. 7 and .8 isslightly domed, has flanged perimeter l6 and at its'mid-top section ispro vided with two conjunctive bores l4 and i5, these being formed insaid cap by perforating the bores with a blunt tool thereby to formtwdround apertures of unlike diameter, commonly surrounded by anupstanding ragged toothed flange l2 and IS. The larger bore l4 receivestherein and. firmly grips the pouring tube 2 in its proper operativeposition as shown in Fig. 1, while the smaller bore l5 firmly gripstherein the vent tube 3 in its operative assembly also as in Fig. 1'.

As thus assembled, the cap 5 and its appurtenant tubes 2 and3, are thenlaid in a mould or die which holds the assembled tubes and capin a tightgrip. v

' The die is so made as'to be provided with a mould space whichsurrounds the tubes above the cap, the moulding portion of said diebeing so contoured as to receive therein a melted plastic metal, whichis poured into said mould and is diecasted about said tubes and raggedflange I 2-I3 of. said cap. The final result is as shown in Figs. 1 and2, in which the sealing disc, generally denoted by l, is firmly cast ormoulded about the tubes and cap flange. Inasmuch as the die metalcontracts slightly upon cooling, it thus is assembled in such a manneras to hold all of the assembled parts to itself in a firm embrace.

The mould of the die is provided with legends, either to be cast inintaglioor in relief, which may bear the name of the advertiser or theadvertisers goods on both faces of the disc, as at H], Figs. 1, 3 and 4.

The sealing disc I may also be provided with an integral annulus 8,outstanding on both faces of the disc, and the disc may further have anannular recess 9 at the inner face of the base of flange 8, said recessextending into the faces of said disc, below the plane of said faces, asshown in Figs. 3, 4, 9 and 10, thus to form an encircling groove inwhich to receive the depending .is'used, as at H, Fig. 10, the label maybe pos flange 1 of the circular label holding bezel 6, Figs.

5 and 6. v

The bezel 6, as shown in Figs. 4 and 9, is used to embrace a paper orcellulosic label ll about its edges and adjacent edge face, thus to holdthe exposed label in operative display position, and covering themoulded-in design It on the disc face.

After the bezel andlabel have been set in display and holding position,theupper outer edge of flange 8 is rolled in slightly as seen clearly inFig. 9, and thus the bezel and label are firmly gripped in desireddisplay position.

In some instances, where 'a stifi'metallic" label tioned on the disc,and the flange, 8 rolled or beaded over the edge of said label. i

of users of the device from destroying the advertising value thereof byremoving and-destroying the label, and thus losing 'thei dentity of theadvertiser. To remove any of the'labels-of the present disclosure bringsinto view the hidden, permanent advertisement moulded'in the metal ofthe sealing disc I. P

Having thus described the invention what is claimed is: I 1- 1. A liquiddispensing device for bottles, com prising the combination of a'cork,'a' flanged cap on said cork, said cap and cork being apertured, apouring tube and a restrictedvent tube mounted in the apertures of saidcap and cork; said 'cap having a flange about said apertures, and a'sealing disc moulded about said tubes andsaid'secnd flange thereby toembrace the cap and tubes in a unitasse'mbly. I

2. A liquid dispensing device for bottles comprising, an apertured corkandcap therefor, a pouring tube and a restricted vent tube located insaid apertures, a sealing disc moulded: about said tubes and a portionof said cap to embrace said tubes and cap in a-unit assembly, alabel oneach face of said disc, said disc having label engaging flanges on itsopposite faces to; engage said labels in display position andadvertising symbols mouldedupon the faces of said disc, said labelsbearing advertising symbols on th eir;dis play faces, the symbols onsaid disc andlabels being of like identity. v

and pouring tubes passing through the stopper and the disc, the pouringtube having a discharge and above the disc, said disc having displayindicia, permanently incorporated in its opposite sides and thindestructible discs mounted on said sides'and having like indiciathereon, said thin discs being intended not to be removed, whereby lithethin discs. be wrongly removed the indicia may still appear on thedevice.
